lyrics

The shuffle of your feet is a funny thing
Looks kinda like you are going somewhere
Well maybe you are, and I don’t want to see
That it won’t be with me

So hand over the severance pay
Two cigarettes and a record to play
A compliment if you can get it in
you know I like the attention

I’m thinking of a number between zero and zero
it’s all the times you made a change of heart curtesy call

Endearing as it was, in the morning hour
You spoke to me in caveman groans
An ancient language I have yet to translate
it’s hard enough using words to communicate
But words like goodbye are a tricky thing
They thread through easier when strung by hope

Now, I am not a speech coach
I just prefer a more direct approach

I’m thinking of a number between zero and zero
it’s all the times you made a change of heart curtesy call

I’m feeling like a line in a book
Written in, and written out, without a second look

And this is my way of saying
Soon I’ll stop looking at my phone for your name
